The Library does not keep a record of materials checked out to a library account once the materials are returned and checked in by staff. Staff are not permitted to turn on reading history in a patron's account, but the cardholder themselves has the option to save their reading history for both physical and digital materials.

Physical Materials

Once this feature is turned on, future check outs will be saved as a reading list. Any materials checked out prior to this feature being turned on cannot be recovered.

  • Login to My Account on the Library's website
  • Click on the drop-down arrow for Contact Information and Preferences
  • Scroll down to Preferences and check the box next to Maintain Reading History
  • Click Submit Change Request

The Reading History for your account will then be found under your name on the menu.

Digital Materials - Overdrive

For Overdrive digital materials, you may turn on reading history by logging in to your account on Overdrive. Select My Account, then click the checkbox next to History.

Please note that, due to privacy concerns, library staff may not turn these history features on or off for patrons; it is up to each patron individually to turn the feature on or off.
